n case of oar country, in cxteut aud population,
renders a corresponding increase of expenditure,
t,. some extent, unavoidable. This is constantly
cresting new objects of expenditure, and augment
ing the amount required for the old. The true
fcnestions, then, are. have these objects been unne
cessarily multiplied T or, has the amount expended
upon any or all of them been larger than comports
with economy? In accordance with these princi-
olcs, the heads of the different executive depart
ments of the government have been instmeted to
reduce their estimates for the next fiscal year, to
t |,e lowest standard consistent with the efficiency
of tin - service, and this duty they have performed
in a spirit of just economy. The estimates of the
Treasury, War, Navy and Interior Departments,
have each been in some degree reduced, and un
less a sudden and unforeseen emergency should
arise, it is not anticipated that a deficiency will ex
ist in cither within the present or the next fiscal
**ar. The Postoffice Department is placed in a
peculiar position, different from the other depart
ments. and to this I shall hereafter refer.
I invite Congress to institute a rigid scrutiny to
ascertain whether the expenses in all the depart
ments cannot he still further reduced; and I prom
ise them all the aid in my power in pursuing the
investigition.
I transmit herewith the reports mado to me by
the Secretaries of War, of the Navy, of the Interi
or. and of the Postmaster General. They each
. contain valuable information and important re
commendations, to which I invjie the attention of
Congress.
In my last annual message, I took occasion to
recommend the immediate construction of ten
small steamers, of light draught, for the purpose
of increasing the efficiency cf the navy. Congress
responded to the recommendation by authorizing
the construction of eight of them. T he progress
which has been made iu executing this authority,
is slated in the report of the Secretary of the Navy.
I concur with him in the opinion that a greater
number of this class ot vessels is necessary tor the
purpose of protecting in a more efficient manner the
persons and property of American citizens on the
high seas, and in foreign countries, as well as in
guarding more effectually onr own coast. I ac
cordingly recommend the passage of an act for
this purpose.
The suggestions contained in the report of the
Secretary of the Interior, especially those in re
gard to the disposition of ihe public domain, the
pension and homily land system, the policy towards
the Indians, and the amendment of our patent
laws, are worthy of the serious consideration of
Congress.
The Postoffice Department occupies a position
very different from that of the other departments.
For many years it was the policy of the govern
ment to render this a self-sustaining department;
and if this cannot now be accomplished, in the
present condition of Ihe country, we ought to make
as near an approach to it as may be practicable.
The Postmaster General is placed in a most cm-
bauassing position by the existing laws. He is
obliged to carry these into effect. He lias no oth
er alternative. He finds, however, that this cannot
lie done without heavy demands upon the treasury
over and above what is received for postage ; and
these have been progressively increasing from year
to year udtii they amounted for the last fiscal year
ending on the 30th June, 1858, to more than four
millions and a half of dollars; whilst it is estima
ted that for the present fiscal year they will amount
to $0,200,000. These sums are exclusive of the
nn nnal appropriation of $790,000 for “compensa
tion for the mail service performed for the two
houses of Congress, and the other departments and
officers of the government in the transportation of
free matter.”
The cause of these large deficits is mainly at
tributable to the increased expense of transport
ing the mails. In 1852 the sum paid for this ser
vice was but a fraction above four millions and a
quarter. Since that year it has annually increased
until, in 1858, it has reached more than eight mi!
lions and a quarter; and for the service of J859, it
is estimated that it will amount to more than ten
millions of dollars.
The receipts of the Post Office department can
he made to approach, or to equal its expenditure,
only by means of the legislation of Cougrcss. In
apply mg any remedy, care should he taken that
the people shall not be deprived of the advantages
which they are fairly entitled to enjoy from the
l’ostoffice Department. The principal lemedies re
commended to the consideration of Congress by
the Postmaster General, are to restore the former
rate of postage upon single letters to five cents; to
substitute for the franking privilege the delivery
to those now entitled to enjoy it, of post office
stamps for their correspondence, and to direct the
Department, in making contracts for the trans
portation of the mail, to confine itself to the pay
ment of the sum necessary for this single purpose,
without requiring it to be transported in post
coaches or carriages of any particular description
Under the present system, the expense to the gov
ernment is greatly increased by requiring that the
mail shall he curried in such vehicles as will accom
modate passengers. This will he done without
pay from the Department, over all roads where the
travel will remunerate the contractors.
These recommendations deserve the grave con
sideration of Congress.
I.would again eail your attention to the con
struction of trie Pacific railroad. Time and reflec
tion have but served to confirm me in the truth and
justice of the observations which I made on this
subject in my last annual message, to which I beg
leave respectfully to refer.
It is freely admitted that it would be inexpedient
for this government to exercise the power of con
structing the Pacific Railroad by its own immediate
agents. Such a policy would increase the patron
age ot the executive to a dangerous extent, and in
troduce a system of jobbing and corruption, which
no vigilance on the part of federal officials could
either prevent or detect. This can only be done by
the keen eye, the active and careful supervision of
individual interest. The construction of this road
ought, therefore, to he committed to companies in
corporated by the States, or other agencies whose
pecuniary interest would be directly involved.—
Congress might often assist them in the work by
grants of land, or of money, or of both, under such
conditions and restrictions as would secure the
transportation of troops and amuuitions of war free
from any charge, and that of the United States
mail at a fair and reasonable price.
The progress of events since the commencement
of your last session,has shown how soon difficulties
disappear before a firm and determined resolution.
At that time such a road was deemed by wise and
patriotic men to he a visionary project. The great
distance to be overcome,and the intervening mown
lains and deserts in the way, were obstacles which
in the opinion of many, could not be surmounted.
Now. after the lapse of a single year, these obsta
cles. it has been discovered, are tar less formida
ble than they were supposed to be; and mail stages
with passengers, now pass and repass regularly,
twice a week, by a common wajjon road between
8an Francisco and St. Louis and Memphis, in less
than twenty-five days. The service has been as
regularly performed, as it was, in former years, be
tween New York and this city.
Whilst disclaiming all authority to appropriate
moii'v for the construction of this road..cxcept that
derived from the war-making power of the consit-
hitinii, there are important collateral considera-
t.ons urging us to undertake the work as speedily
as possible,
The first and most momontuous of these is, that
nidi a road won! J be a powerful bond of union be
tween the states east and west of the rocky moun
tains This is so self-evident as to require no il
lustration. "
Hut again, in a commercial point of view, I cou
rier this the great question of the day. With the
eastern front of our republic stretching along the
Atlantic, and its western front along the Pacific, it
all the parts should he united by a safe, easy and
rapid intercommunication, we must necessarily
command a very large proportion of the trade both
ot Europe and Asia. Our recent treaties with China
and Japan will open these rich aud populous em
pires of our commerce; the history ot the world
proves, that the nation who has gaim d possession
of the trade, with Eastern Asia, has always become
wealthy and powerful. The peculiar geographical
position of California and our Pacific possessions,
invites American capital and enterprise into this
frnitful field. To reap the rich harvest, however, it
is an indispensible perequisite, that we shall first
hare a rail road, to convey and circulate its pro
ducts throughout every portion of the Union. Be
sides, such a railroad through our temperate lati
tude. which would not he impeded by the frosts and
snows of w inter, nor by the tropical heats of sum
mer. would attract to itself much of the travel and
the tiade of all nations, passing between Europe
and Asia.
< hi the 21st of August last, Lieut. J. N. Maffit, of
tiie United .States brig Dolphin,captured the slaver
‘Echo,’ (formerly the Putnam ot New Orleans)
near Kay Verde, on the coast of Cuba with more
than three hundred African negroes on board. I l.e
p-iz". under the command of Lieut. Bradford ot the
I nited .States navy, arrived at Charleston the 27th
August when the necroes, three hundred and six in
number, were delivered into the custody of the
United States marshall for the district of South
< arolina. They were first placed in Castle Pinck
ney .and afterwards iu Fort Sumter,for safe-keeping
and were detained there until the Dili September,
when ihe survivors, two hundred and seventy-one
in number were delivered on board the U nited States
•trainer Niagara, to he transported to the coast of
Africa, under the charge of the agent of the United
8;a:. s, pursuant to the provisions of the act of 3d
March, 1819. “in addition to the acta •prohibiting
the slave trade.” Under the 2d section of this act
the President is “authorized to make such regula
tions and arrangements as he may deem expedient
f"r the safe-keeping, support, and removal beyond
'he limits of the United State, of all such negroes,
tculattoes, or persons of color” captured by ves-
t Is of the United States as may be delivered to the
marshall of the district in which they are brought:
.'“ml to appoint a proper person or persons resid-
* ,; £ upon the coast of Africa, as agent or agents for
receiving the negroes, mulattoes, or persons of
color, delivered from on hoard vessels seized iu
the prosecution of the slave trade, by commanders
°‘ ,-ie United Slates armed vessels.”
A doubt immediately arose as to the true con
struction of this -act. It is quite clear from its
tr rir.s that the President was authorized to pro
vide ‘for the safe-keeping, support and removal’.of
tiK se negroes up till the time of their delivery to
t * ag,-ut on the coast of Africa; but no express
provision was made for their protection and sup
port after they had reached the place of their des
tination. Still, an agent was to be appointed to
receive them in Africa; and it conld not have been
supposed that Congress intended he should desert
them, at the moment ihey were received, and turn
them loose oil the inhospitable coast to perish tor
want ot food, or to become again the victims of the
slave trade. Had this been the intention of Con
gress, the employment of an agent to receive
ttiem, who is required to reside on the coast, was
unnecessary, and they might have been landed by
our vessels anywhere in Africa, and left exposed
to the sufferings and the fate which would
certainly await them.
Monroe, in his special message of December,
at the first session after the net was passed, an
nounced to Congress what, in his opinion, was its true
construction. He believed it to he his duty under it, to
follow these unfortunates into Africa, and make pro
vision for them there, until they should be able to pro
vide for themselves.
In communicating these interpretations of the act to
Congress, he stated that some doubt had been enter
tained as to its true inteutaud ineaniug, and he submit
ted the question to them, so that the} - might, “should it
be deemed advisable, amend the same before farther
proceedings are Imd under it.” Nothing was done by
Congress to expluin the act,and Mr. Monroe proceeded
to carry it into execution according to his own interpre
tation. Tliis. then, became the practicu[coiistruetioD.
When the Africans from on board the Echo were de-
uvered to the marshal at Charleston, it became my
duty to consider w hat disposition ought to be made of
them under the hfyv. For many reasons, it was ex
pedient to remove them from that locality as speedily
as possible. Although the conduct ot the authorities
and citizens of Charleston, in giving countenance to the
execution of the law, wasjust what might have been ex
pected from their high character, yet a prolonged con
tinuance of three hundred Africans in the immediate
a icinity of that city, could not have failed to become a
source of inconvenience and anxiety to its inhabitants.
Where to send them, was the question. There was no
portion of the coast of Africa, to which they could be
removed with any regard to humanity, except to Li
beria. Under these circumstances, an agreement, was
entered into with the Colonization Society on the 7tli of
September last, a copy of which is herewith transmit-
ted, under which the Society engaged, for the consid
eration of forty-five thousand dollars, to receive these
Africans iu Liberia from the agent of the United States,
and furnish them during the period of one year there
after, with comfortable shelter, clothing, provisions, nnd
medical attendance, causing the children to receive
schooling; and all, whether children or adults, to he in
structed in the arts of civilized life, suitable to their
condition. This aggregate of forty-five thousand dollars
was based upon an allowance of one hundred nnd fifty
dollars for each individual, nnd ns there bus been con
siderably mortality among them, and may be more
before they reach Africa, the society have agreed, in an
equitable spirit, to make such n deduction from the
amount, as under the circumstances may appear just
and reasonable. This cannot he fixed until we shall
ascertain the actual number which may become a
charge to the society.
It was also distinctly agreed, that, under no circum
stances, shall this government he called upon for any
additional expenses.
The agents of the society manifested, a laudable
desire to conform to the wishes of the government,
throughout the transaction. They assured me that,
after a cureful calculation, they would he required to
expend the sum of one hundred aud fifty dollars on
each individual in complying with the agreement, and
they would have nothing left to remunerate them for
their care, trouble, uml responsibility. At all events,
I could make no better arrangement, and there was no
other alternative- During the period when thegovem-
ment itself, through its own agents, undertook the task
of providing for captured negroes in Africa, the cost
per head was very much greater.
There having been no outstanding appropriation ap
plicable to this purpose, I could not advance any
money on the agreement. I therefore recommend tliut
an appropriation may he made of the amount necessary
to carry it into effect.
Other captures of a similar character may, and prob
ably will, he made by our naval forces, and I earnestly
recommend, that Congress may amend the second sec
tion of tile net of March 2, 1819, so as to free its con
struction from the ambiguity which 1ms so long existed,
and render the duty of the President plain in executing
its provisions.
I recommend to your favorable regard the local in
terests of the District of Columbia. As the residence
of Congress mid the executive departments of the gov
ernment, we cannot fail to feel u deep concern in its
welfare. This is heightened by the high character aud
the peaceful and orderly conduct of its resident inhub
itnnts.
I cannot conclude without performing the agreeable
duty of expressing iny gratification that Congress so
kindly responded to the recommendation of iny last an
imal message, by affording me sufficient time, before
the close of their late session, for the examination of all
the hills presented to me for approval. This change in
the practice of Congress has proved to he a wholesome
reform. It exerted a beneficial influence on the transac
tion of legislative business, nnd elicited the general ap
probation of the country. It enabled Congress to at
jouin with that dignity and deliberation so becoming to
the representatives of this great republic, without hav
ing crowded into general appropriation hills provisions
foreign to their natures, and of doubtful constitutionali
ty ami expediency. Let me warmly and strongly com
mend this precedent, established by themselves, ns a
guide to their proceedings (luring the present session.

The Coualituiionnliat und ihe Prescul Ad-
ininislralian of the Mlatc Itond.
The Constitutionalist in its issue of Dee. 8th
notices an article which appeared in this paper a
few days ago stating that $25,000 had been paid
into the State Treasury by the Treasurer of the
State Road, as Ihe net proceeds of the working of
the Road for the month of November. The editor
undertakes to draw a comparison botween the ad
ministration of the Road under Col. Spuilock and
under Dr. Lewis, and takes the position that the
present administration of the Road is not as suc
cessful as that of Col. Spuilock. The editor quotes
from the last annual Report of Col. Spuilock to
Gov. Johnson, where Col. Spullook savg, “I can
safely aud most confidently assert that with even
the same amount of business in 1858, that the
Road has done the past year, »< can and should,
with proper management, pay into the State Treas
ury three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”
It was easier to make the above report than it was
to make the money, as Col. Spuilock himself soon
discovered. lie was retaiued as Superintendent
two months of the year for which tho report was
made, by Gov. Brown after he came into office, to-
wit; November and December 1857, during which
time he did not pay one cent into the State Treas
ury, and left the Road 1st of January, 1858, over
$170,000 in debt, with less than $16,000 in its
Treasury. If Col. Spuilock who reported that the
Road with proper management could pay into the
State Treasury $350,000 for the year from 30th
Sept 1857 to 30th Sept 1858, managed the Road
two months of that time, and did not pay one cent
into the State Treasury, but left the Roau over
$170,000 in debt, will the editor of the Constitu
tionalist, who is good at figures, when he again
writes oil this subject, inform the people lio w much
Col. Spuilock would, by this rule, have paid in du
ring the twelve months covered by his Report?
We have no disposition to reflect upon Col Spui
lock, and would not willingly do him injustice,
but we think it unfortunate, in the first place, that
he made this report, and was so slow in working up
to it; and secondly, that he had the editor of the
Constitutionalist to defend him. Why did not the
editor do full justice, and state that Col. Spuilock
while he retaiued the management of the Road
failed to work up to his Report, and that, with a like
failure, the balance of the year, he would not have
paid a dollar into the State Treasury ? Why this
gross injustice upon the part of the editor of the
Constitutionalist '? But the editor says, he is “not
hostile to Gov Brown,” and that Gov. Brown
knows it. Now, wo will not say what Gov
Brown knows on this subject, but this we will say ;
if Gov. Brown understands the English language,
and reads the Constitutionalist he ought to know
that the Constitutionalist is hostile to him, and bit
terly so. If both Gov. Brown and Mr. Buchanan
have not, long ago,found out that the Constitution
alist was their enemy, then they are both very
dull of comprehension. If tho Editor will, when
lie again touches this subject, examine results as
well as reports, he will better please his readers,
and save us the unpleasant duty of correcting his
mistakes, and reproving his short comings.

morning last about 2 o’clock A. M. We remained
until 12 o’clock, and could not witness the closing
scenes in the Senate. The House brought its busi
ness all up about 10 o’clock P. M. Saturday. We
were present to hear the closing speeches in the
House. All of which were in good taste and the
best feeling prevailed. Not so in the Senate
where the Bank bill was under consideration.
Great excitement attended the discussion ou the
passage of the hill, and unpleasant feeling disturb
ed the usual serenity of the closing hours of the
Senate. Our Reporters have promised an account
of what took place Saturday night last, which will
appear in our next weekly issue.
Wo published our last issue of the Daily Union
on Sunday morning last. We had not time to say
anything appropriate to the occasion. We, how
ever. take (his opportunity to say that wo made
the experiment, and we are perfectly satisfied with
the result. We have given satisfaction to all or

for the uniform kindness and consideration we re
ceived from the members of the whole Legislature,
but more particularly from the members of the
House of Representatives. Prominent among the
members of the House, who are entitled to our
thanks (intending no disrespect to others) are our
personal friends, Messrs. D. W. Lewis of Han
cock, the able and untiring friend of education,
Col. John Milledge, the vigilant, active and
persevering member from Richmond, M. M. Miutz,
Esq , the untiring Representative from Jackson,
the able debater from Chatham, Mr. Gordon, the
cool, conservative, am] dignified gentleman from
Wiikes, Mr. Irwin, and a host of other friends,
and favorites, all of whom deserve a more spe

We will, during the coming week, write up the
interesting House proceedings of Saturday last,
in which we will attempt to do justice toatl hands,
not even excepting the door-keeper and messen

All Hair Dyes Abandoned.— Wood's Great
Articles has taken the Field.
Professor Wood stands upon an eminence no chemist
whose attention lias been turned to inventing a hair
tonic, has ever before reached. His fame is sudden
and world-wide, and thousands who have worn wigs or
been bald for years, are now through the use of his
preparation, wearing their own natural and luxuriant
head covering. So much for chemistry, the chemistry
of human life, nnd the laws which apply to the human
system. Professor Wood studied out the human hair,
its character, its properties, its diseases, and how to
restore the decaying vitality of that ornament; he saw,
as in his own ease, that gray hair was unnatural, unless
the'age of the individual has reached four score, and
he believed that the hair could be naturally revitalized.
He tried his own case—almost bald, and quite grey at
the age ef thirty seven, he restored his own hair in col
or, strength, and luxuriance, and the article lie did it
with he gave to the world. Get Wood’B Hair Restora
tive,and take nothing else.
Caution.—Beware of worthless imitations asseveral
are already in the market, called by different names.—
Use none unless the words (Professor Wood’s Hair
Restorative, Depot St. Louis, Mo., and New York), are
blown on the bottle. Sold by all Druggists nnd Patent

Died in Irwinton, on the inst., after a short ill
ness, Miss Harriet Fisher, daughter of the late
Dr. Fisher, ;.ge<l If*years.
Though a widowed mother nnd an affectionate
family are made desolate by this sad bereavement,
yet there are many gleams of brightness coin
mingled with the darkness of this Providence.
It is easy in this instance “to weave a chaplet for
the dead.”—Peculiarly lovely, gentle, tinenvious:
never disposed to cherish or avenge a wrong—
every heart warmed towards her. Her natural
disposition had been beautified by religion. For
years a member of tho Church—her daily life
breathed a Christian spirit. Religion was her
support in illness, and it gave her peace and re
signation when death appeared. Could she now
speak to her young friends left behind, we feel that
she would earnestly entreat them “to become re
conciled to God.”
“Hasten oh sinner to be wise,
And stay not for to-morrow’s sun,
For fear thy lamp should cease to burn
Before the needful work be done.”
Departed this life at 9 o’clock on Thursday morning
the 18th. ult. aged 73, Mrs. Flora McRae, relict of the
late Duncan McRae, a well known and esteemed
citizen of Telfair, eo. She died at the residence of one
of her daughters in Coffee co., where she was on a
visit, after an ilness of six days.
Eulogy of the dead is but too common, but when such
a lady as the late Mrs. McRae leaves the world, her
virtues ought to be mentioned. As a wife, mother,

Governor be and he is hereby authorized,
to draw his warrant on the Treasury for
such sums, as may be in the treasury, sub
ject to distribution under this act, in favor
of the ordinary of each county, on the
third Monday in November of each year,
Provided: the ordinary shall have first
furnished the Governor with the number
of children in his county between the ages
aforesaid—the number taught the elemen-
ary branches of an English education, ■
the number taught the higher branches of i
education, the rates of tuition in the ele- j
mentary and in the higher branches—and.
all other facts and statistics which his Ex-,
cellency may require said ordinaries to
obtain and return and which he may deem
useful in aid of future legislation.
Sec. 8. Be it further enacted, That the
